Ojai 2012 Bien Nacido Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley
7330504326
$ 48.00
New release of Ojai's fantastic Bien Nacido Pinot Noir. Limited.
previous vintage 97 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "A vivid, totally alive wine, the Pinot Noir Bien Nacido is absolutely impeccable. Dark cherries, plums, mint, cloves and new leather are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 stands out for its delineation, nuance and breathtaking finesse. Cool veins of minerality support the finish. Next to the Solomon Hills, the Bien Nacido Pinot is a little more savory and aromatically nuanced, while the fruit is less overt. It will be fascinating to compare the two wines as they age in bottle..."
...This is a fabulous set of wines from Ojai. Winemaker/Proprietor Adam Tolmach and Assistant Winemaker Fabien Castel hit the ball out of the park with a number of these new releases. Frankly, I am not sure where to start, as there are so many wines here that are worthy of serious consideration... As a consumer, sometimes it feels there are no great values left in California. Ojai is a rare exception. These wines deliver the goods (and then some) yet remain exceptionally fairly priced."

$ 54.99
New Pinot Release from A.P. Vin, one of Pinot's hottest up and coming labels and sourced from the famous Gary's Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands.
93 Points Robert Parker: "The Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard offers lots of savory, medium-bodied, complex notes of sassafras, scrub brush, black cherry, peppery spice and earth in a perfectly balanced, layered package. Its integrated acidity and fine tannin all suggest it will drink nicely through 2022...Winemaker Andrew Vingiello continues to make a bevy of brilliant wines. They’re always packed with fruit, yet never lose typicity or soul. All of these Pinot Noirs were mostly destemmed (a few have 25% whole cluster) and aged in French oak barrels, with an average of 50% new."
92 Points Wine Spectator: "Plump and Juicy, with tiers of lively plum, blackberry, black cherry and licorice. Perfectly charming and ready to enjoy, this is hard to put down. Drink now through 2024."

Inaugural release

92 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2016 Sun Chase Vineyard is terrific stuff and leads with its fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, bubble gum, mint, and spring flower notes all emerge from the glas and it hits the palate with a medium-bodied richness, a pretty, elegant texture, good acidity and a clean finish. Comign from a southwest hillside vineyard in the Petaluma Gap, drink this juicy effort over the coming 5-6 years. 125 cases produced."
